8 Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Main features
Wide range of sounds. Thirty different and expressive high-quality sounds,
including a Stereo Concert Grand Piano. You can use the Layer function to simulta-
neously play two sounds.
Effects. The EC350 provides built-in digital effects that can simulate the natural
ambience of a concert hall (Reverb) and add richness to the sound (Chorus).
Three pedals. All three pedals of a traditional grand piano are supplied, with sup-
port for half-pedaling on Damper and Soft.
Built-in recorder. Up to two parts can be recorded with the on-board recorder. You
can use it to practice with one hand, while the other part is played back by the
recorder.
Metronome. The built-in metronome allows you to select the time signature,
tempo, and volume, and even use a bell sound as the accent.
Touch control. You can choose from three different settings to adjust how the
sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.
Temperaments. In addition to the Equal temperament, the EC350 allows you to
select two alternative classical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeister) for
historically accurate performance of classical music. When selecting an acoustic
piano sound, the typical Stretched Tuning is automatically selected.
Adjustable pitch. The Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the piano in
semitone steps, and the Fine Tuning function allows you to make fine tune adjust-
ments in cents.

Introduction 9
MIDI capabilities. The EC350 supports the MIDI protocol, the standard that
allows music data to be transferred between musical instruments and computers.
MIDI allows two or more devices to control or be controlled by each other, and also
allows you to use the EC350 as a 4 or 16-part multitimbral tone generator.
Powerful integrated amplification. EC350 includes a powerful, 35 + 35 Watt
amplifier, with four speakers in Bass Reflex box.
Audio outputs. The audio outputs allow you to directly connect the EC350 to an
audio recorder, or to a separate amplification system.
Audio inputs. The audio inputs allow you to directly connect an external mono or
stereo audio source, without the need of a mixer.
Two sets of heaphones. You can connect two stereo headphones, to play with
your teacher or another musician.

2 PC/MIDI selector: This switch selects whether you can use the MIDI connectors
or the PC (TO HOST) connector.
Warning: Change the setting of the PC/MIDI switch only when the instrument is

3 PC TO HOST connector: This connector allows the EC350 to be directly con-
nected to a personal computer, provided it is fitted with a serial interface. A dedi-
cated software driver may be needed, and can be freely downloaded from our web
site. Please read the relevant instructions included with the driver.

Before you begin
Opening the keyboard cover
Lightly lift the center of the front edge and
support it as you slide the cover gently away
from yourself.
Raising the music stand
Raise the music stand and use the two stoppers located at
the back to prevent it from falling over.
Connecting the headphones
For playing or practicing during night hours, or when you don’t
want to be heard by others in the same room, connect one or two
pairs of high-quality headphones (32 Ω impedance suggested) to
the appropriate connectors underneath the left side of the key-
board. These connectors are standard 1/4” phone jacks. If your
headphones have a mini-jack adapter, grasp the adapter when
plugging in or out the headphones.
Warning: When using headphones, protect your hearing by avoiding extended lis-
tening at high volumes.
Note: When a jack is inserted in one of these connectors, the internal speakers are
automatically turned off. Insert a jack in one of these connectors, when you are con-

Before you begin 15
nected to an external amplification system, and do not want to hear the sound com-
ing from the internal speakers.
Turning the instrument on
Insert the DC plug of the supplied AC adapter into the
DC inlet of the EC350, and connect the AC plug to a
wall socket; then press the POWER switch. When the
instrument is on, the LEDs on the control panel will
light up. To turn the instrument off, press the POWER
switch again.
Note: When the instrument is turned off, most parameters are memorized. Which of
them is detailed in the relevant sections, and the mark appears next to the sec-
tion’s header. A list of memorized and non-memorized data can be seen on page 52.
Adjusting the volume
Move the MASTER VOLUME slider towards the right to increase the volume;
towards the left to decrease the volume. The maximum is “10”; the minimum
(silence) is “0”. This control adjusts the output level of the headphones, the internal
speakers and of the OUTPUTs. It does not control the input level of the audio
source connected to the INPUTs.
Note: It is always better to start with a low volume and then increase gradually.
Listening to the Demo
The EC350 contains 30 pre-recorded demo songs. Listen to them to experience the
rich sound and expressive potential of this instrument.
Listen to all songs at once. You can listen to all demo songs with a single com-
mand.
1Press the DEMO button (or keep the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button pressed,
and press E1 on the keyboard). The sound selection buttons LED will blink sequen-
tially from left to right. After a few seconds, playback will begin. All demo songs
will be played back. After the last song, the playback will begin again from the first
song.
2During playback, you can press a sound selection button to repeat just the current
bank of ten demo songs. (There are three banks of ten demo songs each: 1-10, 11-
20, 21-30).
For example, if you press the CHOIR button while song number 1 is playing, song
DC IN
to an AC outlet
MEMMEM

16 Chapter 2
number 10 will immediately start playing, and the playback will cycle from song 1
through song 10.
3Press the DEMO button to stop the playback and exit the demo mode.
Listen to a specified song. You can select just one demo song to be played back.
1First of all, you must select one of the three demo song banks.
• To select the first bank (1-10), press the DEMO button once. The LEDs will
blink sequentially, from left to right.
• To select the second bank (11-20), press the DEMO button a second time. All
LEDs will blink at the same time.
• To select the third bank (21-30), press the DEMO button a third time. Adjacent
LEDs will blink alternatively
2Press one of the sound selection buttons to select the corresponding song in the
selected bank. The LED on the selected demo button will stay on, while the other
LEDs will turn off.
After the end of the selected song, all the songs of the selected bank will be played
back in cycle.
